Sometimes I look up highAnd then I think there might,Just be a better lifeAway from all we knowThat's where I wanna goOut on the wild side,And I wish I wasOh oh oh oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the dayTill the first fading lightBe with my western girlRound the fire oh so brightI'd be the indians' friendLet them love to be freeRidin' into the sunsetI wish I could be.

I'd ride the desert sandsAnd through the prairie landsTryin' to do what's rightThe folks would come to meThey'd say we need you hereI'd stay there for the night,Oh I wish I wasOh oh oh oh, a wild west hero

Ride the range all the dayTill the first fading lightBe with my western girlRound the fire oh so brightI'd be the indians' friendLet them love to be freeRidin' into the sunsetI wish I could be.
